When you have a series returning after an 11-year hiatus spanning two console generations, there’s certainly a lot to share. When EA Sports College Football 25 launches on July 19, it will be difficult to summarize everything college football fans can expect. But the developers at EA Orlando still tried deep-dive video and blog post touching every corner of the game.
The most important point here is that all 134 Division I college football schools in the United States are represented, with all their traditions, music, stadiums and more. Whether you are a fan of Ohio State University or Ohio State University, you will receive a warm German hug.
But going deeper, the manuals are very different and more experimental than what you will find in professional football. “One of our main goals was to achieve a true, expansive college football game,” said developer Scott O’Gallagher.
“We studied and tried to recreate an explosion of current and former college football legends. The result is a game that allows you to play not only in the North and South, but also in the East and West.” Here he refers to the use of the entire field, not just the deep bombs thrown by the classic drop passengers, but also the scattered antics like the reverse, the circle and, of course, the triple option.
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who will appear in the game alongside real-time bench partner Chris Fowler, shares this insight into what College Football 25 has to offer. I remember sitting on my bed in 2003 with a copy of NCAA Football 2004, watching and rewatching the tutorial videos it narrated, only to figure out where the buttons on my Xbox controller were so I knew how to kick the ball or pull to back and throw a flanker working a back-to-back route. It’s good to have Herbie, the Buckeyes’ quarterback from 1989 to 1992, back in the facility.
What else can we expect from College Football 25?
Elsewhere, O’Gallagher explains the new attrition progression system, whereby a player who takes constant hits (or plays a ball for a long day) will not only break down in the current game, but probably in the next game as well. . . . It reminds me of the old Tecmo Super Bowl mode system, where your stick would go limp in the third quarter, forcing all sorts of strategic adjustments, if not outright substitutions. Pay attention to the wear and tear on your athletes, especially if your offensive line allows multiple consecutive hits to the quarterback in the backfield.
EA Sports College Football 25 will be released on July 19th for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
